but i didn't really die

[hector13]

Joe Buck is apparently considered amazeballs by Fox Sports, and now I have to listen to him while “my team” compete in the baseball post-season, and probably whenever “my team” is being covered by Fox in the NFL.

I... I just don’t see it. He’s a bog standard announcer. He’d be alright for radio with how much he points out the obvious, but holy crap he just can’t paint a picture with his words, and I can see what he’s trying to describe. He adds nothing to the experience.

its saturday and I've sat around all day wishing the weekend was over so I could go to school again. but then while at school wish it was the weekend so that I could play DF but while playing DF I would want to hang out with friends but whilst doing that wishing I was at home to play nethack and vice versa.

I feel like somebody drove a bus into my emotional well-being.   

So many different stresses, worries, discomforts and expectations all stirred together into a broth of general hopelessness.
Also I haven't started on my Halloween costume yet. Shit.

Also I haven't started on my Halloween costume yet. Shit.

Get a dollar bill sheet and cut eye holes in it. Become the most terrifying looming specter of all; debt and predatory banking.

[Yoink]

Hahaha, a spectre of debt. I love it!
The last costume I came up with already pretty much followed the basic sheet-ghost formula, though. I had considered just getting a bunch of large sheets of paper and going as an envelope for the ultimate Seinfeld reference, but currently I'm thinking I'll try to dress as Otto from The Simpsons.

[George_Chickens]

Make sure to bring pretzels. So they can make people thirsty.

I spent only five minutes on my costume last year. I had a handful of dust and a sign saying "3^^^3", because the best jokes are those that nobody understands. (Bonus points if you get the literary reference.)

For similar reasons, I will be holding one clear box (containing candy) and one opaque box this year. Since I have both cardboard and plastic shoeboxes handy, this will probably take less than a minute.

Servers fall, everyone dies.

Server morghulis.

I can't find that dream I had where I was some shape-changing, possibly robotic alien posing as a pro wrestler in a ruse to abduct folks, and my mind had begun to deteriorate causing me to be decommissioned after my co-worker reported a slip-up of mine.

Pretty sure I posted it in the Dream Thread, or if not there at least the Terrified thread or something, but searching general isn't turning it up.

Ugh I hate that feeling so much.  I had a song in my head, almost down to the lyrics, and I was *pretty* sure it was part of a medley by Pentatonix.  Their Daft Punk one specifically.  But it wasn't, and listening to it completely destroyed and replaced the tune in my head.

I've been listening to some unrelated swing megamix for a while now, so the pangs are mostly gone, but it was super frustrating for a while.
Even though it doesn't matter at all, except that it did for some reason!  Urgh.

I'm sorry to inform you that I got both of them.

Brandishing is a huge no-no and actually qualifies for a very serious felony in USA and is grounds for defending yourself from the brandishee with lethal force. Any gun owner with a half a brain knows you don't unholster a firearm without a serious threat to human life present. I wouldn't even take mine out for a robbery or car jacking as long as no one was in immediate and imminent danger. Most criminals prefer to steal your shit and run anyway.

Unless they're a cop. It's pretty normal around here for cops to threaten you with a gun for little to no reason, but I currently live in the southern US. The worst a cop will get for killing you is having to get a job in another town, and they know it.

Had a remarkably well-mannered therapy appointment today (ever had couples counseling? Imagine that, but with your parents instead of your partner), albeit one that ultimately left me feeling like nothing actually had changed or would change in the future. Despite that, managed to have a very pleasant evening with my folks.

Then I took the hour-fifteen train ride back home and managed to get inside while my girlfriend was out walking the dogs. Within twenty seconds of her entering the apartment, it was made clear that I had committed an extremely fucking grave sin.

Her: "Oh great, you took my hanger."
Me: "Hmm? Oh, did I put my jacket on the wrong hanger?"
Her: "Yes." *shuffling and grumbling*
Me: "Oops. Well, then there's an extra hanger in there, since I took my jacket off of one when I left."
Her: *Huff* "No, there isn't."

I get up, come over, and remove my jacket from her hanger and put it back on the other hanger, which was about 4 jackets down from the one I'd mistakenly used.

Her: "Great. Whatever. Can I get past? You're in the way."


Oh well. I know I'm doomed to always fuck something up, but I'm just surprised at my own alacrity in the matter.

[hector13]

I’m going to say that was all her. One would assume she wanted you to do something in that situation, perhaps reading her mind that something else was bothering but her.
